Third opens the theatre season this week at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
Originally produced by Lincoln Center Theatre in New York City, this is the story of
Laurie Jameson, a feminist Literature professor, has settled into her life at a small, New England college when Woodson Bull III, known simply as “Third,” challenges her long-held beliefs. Against the political backdrop of the impending Iraq War, Laurie and Third engage in a blue state versus red state confrontation that leaves both shaken and changed forever. The final play by Wendy Wasserstein, critically-acclaimed author of The Heidi Chronicles and The Sisters Rosensweig, was described by the New York Times as “a gentle breath of autumn.”

Opens Friday at Playwright Theatre
Friday, Sept 14. Don't miss this incredible production! Mary and I were blown away by Annawyn, Ellen, and Tessa's outstanding performances, order tickets now, should be SRO! The script is powerful, this is a poetry perfect play for a jewel of theatre.
Line after line is etched into our minds in a story that rivits our attention from start to life-affirming finish. Here's a small sample, like butterflies pinned on cork, a faint image of hearing them delivered live by these skilled actors:
"A smart girl can hide what she knows so there is still a chance for happiness." "This one will fly." "Life is a long appology." "She chose to be an eccentric like others choose to be a Lutheran." "She dedicated her life to theories that are hard to prove." "It's a terrible desire to want to know everything." "There are words I'd give my life for."
My old neighbor Annawyn Shamas, her daughter Ellen Shamas-Wright and Tessa Nelson, star in this funny, poignant production about three generations of intelligent women and the actions they take when their personal desires conflict with external expectations.
Eleemosynary by Lee Blessing opened Friday, September 14, at the Playwright Theatre, 2119 E. 17th Ave. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:00 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $20, $18 for students and seniors, and $15 for groups of five or more. For reservations and more information contact 303-499-0383 or go online to www.playwrighttheatre.com.
The play probes the delicate relationship between Dorothea, the grandmother, who has sought to assert her independence through strong-will eccentricity; her brilliant daughter, Artie, who has fled the stifling domination of her mother; and Artie’s daughter, Echo, a child of exceptional intellect and sensitivity, whom Artie has abandoned to an upbringing by Dorothea.
Don't miss this! And pass the word to your friends that enjoy good theatre. It would be a shame for one seat to go unfilled.
